I Just Quit Dreaming Today.

I guess time is my answer,But I don't see it likely,I'll never be the better man,That I feel is inside me,I won't be disappointed,'Cos I can't say that I've tried,But the friends I've had that knew me well,Will surely be surprised,

They'll say,Why have you given up on your dream,Why did you throw it away,And if I answer honestly,I won't have a thing to say,I just quit dreaming today,

Maybe I could blame something,But who would it satisfy,'Cos my life is going so well,And nothing could justify,So it's not within my sorrow,That I've come to you to say,It always comes down to reality,So it's there that I've come to stay,

And you may say,Why have you given up on your dream,Why did you throw it away,And if I answer honestly,I won't have a thing to say,I just quit dreaming today,

Has this world been cold to me,Can I give it a second tho't,Well my first was to captivate the world with my song,This... was my second tho't,Don't be down in my discouragement,I didn't mean to step on your dreams,And if you still believe in me,Then it was well worth setting it free,

Altho' you will say,Why have you given up on your dream,Why did you throw it away,And if I answer honestly,I won't have a thing to say,

O', why would you do this to yourself,I know you will make it someday,But if I answer honestly,I just quit dreaming today.

About BillyPauleyJr.*

Pseudonyms WillyToad* & DonnaDrake* writing for SmokeyTheToad* Productions. Born in a little place just outside my mother I was destined for poetry from the moment I realized my name rhymed with my dad's... except for the Jr. part. Dr. Seuss was my first lyrical love, but I found out in 3rd grade he was "seeing someone else". So I moved on to woo the likes of Samuel L. Clemens & Mark Twain (simultaneously) while keeping a keen eye on etymological terrorists like William Shakespeare and Ogden Nash. I guess you can say I've always loved the ones who didn't do it right. Who dared to be different by not being indifferent to themselves. The whole storytelling, DonnaDrake*, thing is probably not much more than lyrical lapses in my life. :)
